No, as in, in three hundred years things may be outright dystopic.That could be fine too.
If it isn't a long time, we'll have to compete with our past selves, and that's no fun.
At least one past self will be around barring an assassination, so that's not exactly going to change anything.
Even if Kirie's still alive, she wouldn't be likely to make waves anyway. I just want to avoid a scenario where the new party ends up feeling lame compared to the old, and the easiest way to do that is to make everything too far back for it to matter.
Yep. I remember watching the episode of Korra where Sokka, Aang, and Toph show up in a flashback and even forty years old and in a flashback that lasts one and a half minutes, they're way more interesting than the new cast with like nine episodes to themselves.
Or we could just run a game in Dark Sun or something.
If that happens, it's because people dropped the ball on characterization, IMO. Setting everything back just means that the characters will become more and more legendary, as tales of their exploits ascend from stuff that happened into the realm of myth.
